Dr. Eve
Looks like Dr. Eve dehomsexualized this place. If you are looking for gay resort this is not it.
make a u-turn!
I used to live a block away and loved the fact that the RP was a really nice gay mens resort and I would drop by to have drinks and lunch with friends every now and then, and enjoyed the drag shows and all the events on the weekends, especially the tea dance on sundays, but no more, now its a family friendly resort, and it does cater to exclusively to gay men, now its anybody and everybody! what a bummer! well it was good while it lasted, same goes to the rest of the gay oriented spots in the area, soon it will all be "family friendly" that is all fine if thats what your looking for! am a gay man and I love to have fun around my gay friends, when I want to be in a family friendly place I'll go visit my own family in N.Y. Thank you... Good Bye RP you really suck now!
Not a men's resort and barely gay
It appears to have changed owners or management. Sadly, I was not informed when booking my annual visit. Now I am stuck here for six days! HELP! There are more women than men staying here, which makes it uncomfortable and quite LOUD. The remainder are older hetero couples and even some TEENAGERS! I won't be back.
Great on SUNDAY for t dance
Great day-spot
I did not even stay here. We dropped by for the afternoon and I was sold. This place is definitely on my list the next time I go to Lauderdale!
Five Star Five Diamond
This place recently reopened with new owners and a complete overhaul. I LOVE THIS PLACE. It is classy and modern and tasteful and what you would expect from a high end gay resort. I have stayed here a few times and always had a great time. Mild to high sexual energy and a good crowd comes here. Ive ben to a couple of their tea dances as well.... Always fun and the place just looks sharp - clean lines and comtemporary chic. LUV IT!
extremely friendly staff, great barand drinks, beautiful resort to stay ay, great food to enjoy at their restaurant and 2 pools, and great T-dances on 3rd sunday of month
You must stay here...
The attention to detail by the staff is amazing. Great group of guys on property that take care of your every need. The newly remodeled rooms are incredible. Have a cocktail at the pool from the bar just steps away or a meal on the pool deck. By the way, take advantage of the spa on site and treat yourself to a massage. True bliss. Thanks Larry, you are the absolute best! ... and if all that wasn't enough, Royal Palms is just a block to the beach. Wow, great value for a property of this caliber.
thumbs up
We travel so much usually stay in well known 5 star hotels. We booked this place because of its nice web pictures , we spent the weekend , we give it thumbs up , friendly staff , two pools , clean stylish room decor and walking distance to the beach . We would definitely come back .
bring lots cash
We went there for dinner,and show,ordered a salad and an entree the portion was small. i left still hungry and way overpriced
Haven't stayed here yet, BUT...
Haven't stayed here yet, BUT we certainly will the next time we're in Fort Lauderdale. We just spent a week in Florida at my partner's one bedroom timeshare down the road. While we were there, we walked over to the Royal Palms to have a tour. The front desk gladly showed us around the spacious grounds and, even upon knowing we were staying at a timeshare, told us to stop by if we wanted to swim or lay in the sun while we were in FL. We only had one day left in our vacation, but we decided to take him up on the offer. But first, the rooms are crisp and clean and the most modern I've seen in a long time. And quite roomy too. Big plus! We came back the following day to get some sun and swim a bit before our long flight back to Los Angeles. Poolside was well attended by some hot and friendly guys. We found a spot and relaxed and enjoyed the festive atmosphere. We decided to grab a bite from the little restaurant on the premises, and an efficient (and cute) waiter came over to take our food order and drink order. There is a poolside bar, which is a big plus if you are staying poolside for the afternoon, or early evening for that matter. Food was delicious and I was having serious thoughts of not wanting to leave for the airport! There's also a full service spa for your massages and a nice little locker area with shower that we used before we got ready for the airport. We really enjoyed the afternoon we spent here, and know that this place would be enjoyable for a longer stay!
